Trainee IPS officer accused of assault in wedding brawl, cross complaints lodged

Vikas Dhayal, a Rajendra Nagar resident and UPSC coach, alleged that on December 6, during a wedding at Mahak Tala Farms, IPS trainee Rahul Balhara struck him on the head with a whiskey glass, causing him to collapse. Dhayal shared a video purportedly showing the assault, including images of his blood-covered face and clothes.

Expressing his outrage on social media platform X, Dhayal wrote, "This is what one year of IPS training teaches you: getting drunk on power, assaulting people without consequence."

He further alleged that Balhara, after clearing the UPSC exam, engaged in similar violent behaviour.
